Amplee
Read full descriptionHide full description
Simplify the chaos. Amplify the music. Running a band can sometimes feel like another full time job. Between scheduling rehearsals, tracking who's showing up to the gig, sharing setlists, and hunting for that one screenshot of a setlist someone sent three weeks ago — the boring stuff can easily drown out what actually matters: making music together. Amplee is the all-in-one hub built specifically for bands to make all the boring stuff easy. No more scattered threads across five different apps. No more "wait, when was that gig again?" No more last-minute surprises because someone missed a message buried under 100 memes. Everything your band needs, in one place. - Event Chat — Dedicated conversations for each event. Discuss the gig without derailing your main group chat. Keep work stuff inside your events with Amplee. Keep memes in your other group chat. - Events & Scheduling — Create gigs, rehearsals, and sessions with all the details in one spot. Date, time, location, notes — it's all there, and everyone sees the same thing. - Roll Call & RSVPs — Know who's in and who's out before you show up. No more awkward "did everyone remember the gig?" texts the day of. - Setlists — Build, share, and reorder your setlists and ongs. Keep templates for recurring shows and share song notes with subs. - File Sharing — Share tracks, stems, chord charts, contracts, and stage plots. Find what you need without scrolling through months of messages. - Notes — Collaborative notes for each event. Sound preferences, parking info, contact details for the venue — document it once, access it always. - Band Rosters — Invite your bandmates, manage roles, and keep everyone connected. You can whatever combination of people you want (a trio, a duo, a 4-piece) Amplee handles it all - invite your rosters to different events. Heck, you can even invite your mom to the event chat if you want! Built for musicians, by people who get it. I have been a gigging musician for most of my adult life. I know the drill. You've got a day job, side projects, and somehow you're also trying to coordinate a bunch of other people with equally chaotic schedules. Amplee cuts through the noise so you can focus on what brought you together in the first place. Stop managing your band through chaos. Start making music. Amplee — Simplify the chaos. Amplify the music.
